Task 1.3: Install IIS

IIS is not installed on Windows 7 or 8.1 by default. You need to
manually install it.

Before you install IIS, make sure you have installed .NET
Framework 4.x. To install .NET Framework 4.x for Windows 8.1, please go
to the Turn Windows features on or off
and check the box for .NET 4.5; for Windows 7, please download the setup
program from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718
and install .NET Framework 4.0.

Below are steps for installing IIS. If you already have IIS
installed, please carefully verify the correct IIS options are checked
(see screenshots below). By default, not all the required components
will be installed.

Step 1: Click Start and then
click Control Panel. In Control Panel,
click Programs and then click Turn on or off Windows features.

Step 2: Select the check box of Internet
Information Services, then expand the list and select the
items under Web Management Tools, Application
Development Features and Common HTTP
Features according to the figure below. Click OK to let Windows finish the install.

Figure 5. Select the Common HTTP Features

Step 3: After IIS is installed, go to IIS
Manager, right click the Default Web
Site, select Binding, and
make sure IP Address is indicated with
an asterisk "*". If not, please click Edit and select All
Unassigned for the IP address, this will display IP Address as an asterisk "*".

Step 4: Run http://IP_Address:80/ in Internet
Explorer. If the IIS welcome screen displays, then IIS is working
properly.

Tip: to obtain the IP address of
the server, open a command prompt window and then type ipconfig<Enter>. Remember this IP address
as it is also needed when you configure the mobile app in Appeon
Workspace.

If IIS is not working, please re-install IIS or fix the IIS
configuration by following the IIS help.
